Design an Autonomous-Vehicle Camera Pipeline and Its Perception System
Company: NVIDIA
Role: Software Engineer
Category: System Design
Difficulty: medium
Interview Round: Onsite
Overview: Design an autonomous-vehicle camera pipeline, from synchronized capture and image signal processing to the perception system that turns multi-camera frames into tracked objects for planning. The question tests time synchronization, zero-copy buffering and back-pressure in real-time C++, latency budgeting, multi-camera fusion and tracking, and fault detection with degraded modes.
